HAHAHAHAHAHA I like the part where Andrew tries to show up Shatraw by goofing on his “tremendously limited vocabulary” then makes a huge grammatical error in his own post. The comedy writes itself, folks.

Dear Lee and Andrew,

Nothing is settled. This is the internet. Nothing dies. Your calm demeanor tries to hide your intent, but not well.

Also, “not listen selfish” isn’t a phrase at all. But perhaps you were too angry while typing, you lout.

Cheers,
Cary

I’ll side with the well spoken and polite fellow who signs off by saying “Cheers”, and not listen selfish, meat-hogging louts with a tremendously limited vocabulary like shatraw.

Cheers,
Andrew

I found out about your meat bracket via Paul’s blog which I read everyday.

Let me settle this once and for all: Meat Brackets are a dumb idea, no matter who originates them.

Done.

UM! via deadspin:

“What we need, clearly, is a bracket of meat brackets, so MY meat bracket can face off against (and, of course, defeat) HIS meat bracket, along with the several others floating around out there.” – Paul Lukas

Why would his (“of course”) defeat yours? Whatever. What a joneser…

I agree that it is annoying that he did his column a week after I launched Meat Madness with no acknowledgment, but I would like to stress again that I didn’t come up with the idea of a meat bracket and I’m not claiming I’m the first one to do it. Carnivore project did something similar two years ago:
